METHODBlanch the beans in a pan of boiling water until crisp yet tender, around 2- 3 minutes. Drain.

Heat a griddle pan or the grill. Season the tofu steaks on both sides, brush with sesame oil, place on the hot griddle pan or under the grill and grill for 3 minutes on each side.

Meanwhile, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan, keeping an eye on them as when they turn brown, they turn fast. Tip most of them (reserve a few for garnish) into a pestle and mortar and roughly crush.

Place the vegetables and noodles in a large bowl. Whisk or blend together the ingredients for the dressing, pour into the bowl, add the crushed sesame seeds and toss well.

Place the tofu on top, brush with sesame oil and sprinkle over the spring onions and reserved sesame seeds. Serve.
